EVERYDAY DIGITAL ART
Lino. Photography. An archive of images.
I’m exploring my creative side after a career with numbers, creating colourful digital images through various media.
Use the post and homepage #hashtags to filter by media, theme or colour - or just explore randomly.
Lino prints are hand coloured and then digitally enhanced for colour balance.
Photography is straight out of camera.
There is a smattering of other media. Etching includes drypoint and tetra pack work, and together with ink works are similarly hand coloured before being photographed.
I’m calling this Everyday Art because I don’t pretend otherwise.
To each image I have added context notes, creating a history of my work. Naming has year and month to give an approximate timeline to the work, so I (and you) can see how it has developed over time. The good and the bad (well, there are gaps in the sequence so not the truly awful!) are all included.
My digital art (and stories) has been moved to dbwords.quotion.co
I’m not on social media yet.

An experimental Lino print for seeing how the effect of distance can work. I colour the black and white print digitally - not my usual watercoloring - to see the effect, which is the bright print ab

Did this on vinyl rather than Lino. Different cutting experience but smoother lines. For fun I then ran it through an app on my old iPhone. Added colour. Certainly quicker than getting the paintbrush

I was trying to create a contrast with a layer of black clouds topped by white clouds. The usual technique. Perhaps I should have made the sky bluer? Started it a year ago and only just did the fin

A few wriggly pen lines, and a bit of colour, the impression of mountains on the horizon. Just playing around. ———————————————————— Technique: #draw Theme: #landscape Highlight colour: #black #yello

Another in the series, this time I’ve actually done a Lino print with watercolour, and brightened digitally. What’s at the bottom? ———————————————————— Technique: #lino Theme: #abstract Highlight col

The hand drawn digital prints (like 0304 and 0300) are lovely and bright, but lack texture. This is from a charcoal drawing, water coloured in grey, pale red and a muted yellow, with a little blue Ju

In my mind’s eye this should have turned out better, but it didn’t. This was the napkin sketch. In a strange way it’s got more feeling, though it could be an orange waterfall, from high peaks framed

Looking out the window of an old prison, up at the blue sky of freedom. A napkin sketch (I’ve been doing a few of these lately) scanned and digitally coloured in a background layer. I don’t think I w
